Description |
English: This fascinating 1862 map by Justus Perthes and Stieler depicts Italy. In cartographic flourish unique to Perthes, land profiles decorate either side o the map. When this map was made Italy was in the midst of its national struggle for solidarity. The regional capitol was Florence and Rome and the Papal States alone maintained their independence. All text is in German. Unlike other cartographic publishers of the period, the Justus Perthes firm, did not transition to lithographic printing techniques. Instead, all of his maps are copper plate engravings and hence offer a level of character and depth of detail that was impossible to find in lithography or wax-process engraving. Issued in the 1862 edition of Stieler’s Schul-Atlas. |
